New algorithm finds lots of gene-editing enzymes in environmental DNA

Some are related to DNA-cutting enzymes. Others are a complete mystery.

Exited to be presenting even more of my #eDNA work at the Entomological Society of America National Meeting at National Harbor, Maryland! I'll be presenting my work in detecting arthropod pests in greenhouses using environmental DNA #EntSoc23 #Entomology #environmentalDNA
#NewPaper! We describe a simple scalable approach for describing animal communities in @CurrentBiology: animals leave behind their DNA on leaves and it is possible to collect the ๐Ÿงฌ from many animals that live in a tropical rainforest simply by swabbing ๐Ÿƒ ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒ https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2023.06.031 r #Science #Biomonitoring #Wildlife #Animals # Vertebrates #eDNA ๐Ÿงต 1/7

Thanks @Helmholtz_HZI for the nice press release to accompany our study out now in @CurrentBiology: https://www.helmholtz-hzi.de/en/news-events/news/view/article/complete/dna-abstrich-von-blaettern-zeigt-enorme-vielfalt-der-regenwaldbewohner/

Detecting a vast diversity of rainforest animals by swabbing their DNA from leaves

Monitoring wildlife species present in specific areas is a critical first step to estimating the risk of transmission of infectious diseases to humans

Having a blast at the the International Congress of Genetics in Melbourne, Australia! Extremely happy and proud to be presenting my work in both whitefly and spotted lanternfly detection using environmental DNA. #eDNA #environmentalDNA #ICG2023
I'll be presenting my eDNA work on both whiteflies and spotted lanternflies in the upcoming XXIIIrd International Congress of Genetics. #eDNA #icg2023 #environmentalDNA
#introduction Hello everyone! My name is Jonathan Lee and I am a PhD student at The Ohio State University in the Department of Entomology. My current focus is using eDNA, plant volatiles and NIRS to detect exotic insects in both greenhouses and urban settings.
